In an effort to keep communication flowing, Dean Kostelnik will be hosting breakfasts for small groups of faculty. This is to give you a chance to talk about current events and any issues you might like to explore. There will be no formal agenda. Two breakfasts will be held in the fall semester. The groups will be 10 to 12 people each time. Reservations will be accepted on a first come, first served basis.

CEHS undergraduate and graduate students will share their work with fellow students, faculty, and other educators and community members. The aim of the conference is to give students an opportunity to showcase their work and dialogue with colleagues about important issues in education. Please plan to attend and encourage your students to attend. Keynote address will be offered by Katherine Richardson Bruna. Dr. Bruna is Associate Professor of Multicultural and International Curriculum Studies at Iowa State University. Her ethnographic research on the school experiences of science of newcomer Mexican youth in a demographically-transitioning midwest community has been published in a number of scholarly journals, including Cultural Studies of Science Education, Linguistics and Education, the Journal of English for Academic Purposes, and Multicultural Perspectives. She is editor (with Kimberly Gomez) of The Work of Language in Multicultural Classrooms: Talking Science, Writing Science (Routledge, 2009).
